Coding in Space

Saturday, February 18, 2023

We participated in the European Space Agency’s Astro Pi Challenge! In one hour, we created a simple program to take readings from sensors on the International Space Station (ISS) and coded images to send to the astronauts! In May/June participants will receive a certificate showing the location of the ISS when their program was used in space!

Preparation: For this event, you will only need your computer and we recommend using a mouse. You do not need to know how to code,  step-by-step simple instructions will be provided. See Full Instructions here.  See the Presentation here.

Expert: Chimira Andres works for the European Space Agency.  She completed a M.Sc. in Geophysics and Planetary Science at Western University and is also the President of SEDS Canada, a not-for-profit student space organization.
